HSBC says Starlink and Starship are already feeding space-economy gains back into industries on Earth

HSBC said in an Aug. 18 cross-sector report that the most urgent value of the space economy is not asteroid mining or Mars colonization, but the way it is already reshaping industries on Earth. The report, led by HSBC Global Equity Research Co-Head Raj Sinha, spans 12 sectors including telecoms, semiconductors, power, industrials, agriculture, insurance and finance. According to the report, SpaceX’s satellite internet business had 10,200 satellites in orbit and 12 million broadband users as of June 30, 2026, covering 167 markets. Another 7.4 million monthly active devices used Direct to Cell service across 30 countries. HSBC argues that satellite connectivity has moved beyond a backup option for remote areas and is becoming default infrastructure in shipping, aviation and trucking. The bank also sees Starlink’s relationship with terrestrial telecom operators as largely complementary, pointing to deals with T-Mobile, KDDI and Airtel Africa. HSBC also highlighted launch economics. Falcon 9 low-earth-orbit launch costs were cited at $2,940 per kilogram, Falcon Heavy at $1,520, while Starship is targeting $100 to $300 per kilogram. The bank said those cost declines are forcing a rethink of satellite manufacturing, orbital data centers and asteroid-mining models. In HSBC’s view, power, semiconductors and robotics are the three sectors seeing the clearest and most immediate impact.

Ron Baron says SpaceX could reach a $4 trillion valuation in 10 to 15 years

Billionaire investor Ron Baron has made another aggressive long-term call on SpaceX, saying the Elon Musk-founded company could be worth as much as $4 trillion over the next 10 to 15 years. Baron, founder of Baron Capital, has been a long-time backer of SpaceX and has previously argued that the company could deliver enormous value growth over the same time frame. His thesis centers on three areas: Starlink’s satellite internet business, reusable rocket technology, and the longer-term buildout of space infrastructure markets. Baron Capital has invested heavily in SpaceX since 2017 and said those holdings have already produced substantial returns. Baron has also said the position has become a major part of his funds’ portfolio value and that the company could still have significant upside even after a future public listing. At the same time, the report notes that a multi-trillion-dollar valuation would still depend on major execution milestones. These include the pace of Starlink commercialization, launch-cost economics, the company’s ability to turn new businesses such as space data centers into reality, and the broader risks that come with sustaining such a high valuation. According to TheStreet, SpaceX’s long-term value has become a growing focus for capital markets.

Peter Diamandis: SpaceX Could Become First $10 Trillion Company

Citing CNBC, Peter Diamandis, an early SpaceX investor and founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, said SpaceX has the potential to become the world's first company with a $10 trillion market capitalization. He argued that the market has yet to properly value SpaceX, given its space transportation, satellite internet, and future space economy initiatives. The company's core value stems not only from reusable rockets but also from Starlink, lunar and Mars exploration plans, and a new economic system built around space infrastructure. Traditional valuation models may underestimate such a platform company, and investors are now re-evaluating its long-term commercial potential.
